"Constitution Like Holy Book": Tejashwi Yadav Downplays Minister's Remark
NDTV
The trigger has been controversial remarks about "Ramcharitmanas" made by the state's Education minister Chandra Shekhar, an RJD leader.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav today betrayed vexation over queries from journalists about the recent spat between leaders of his RJD and his boss Nitish Kumar's JD(U).
The young leader used the analogy of media houses to underscore that foot soldiers fell in line with their leaders and not the other way round.
"You tell me, in your organisations, do the editors decide what line to take or do the reporters tell the editors what to do?" the RJD leader said quizzically, rankled by queries from reporters.
The RJD and the JD(U), former rivals which became allies less than six months ago, appear to be on a collision course.
